Pagan Gays

Depends what you define as pagan. I'm a spiritual person though.
PM me if you wanna talk about it.

 

I'm sort of a mix between Wiccan, Pagan and agnostic. I'm more spiritual than religious, but Paganism fascinates me.

 

I'm not Pagan. I did have a Wiccan friend, however, whom I respected very much because of her dedication and true understanding of the religion. I would personally consider myself highly Agnostic in the sense that religion and faith are nothing that I actively pursue; however, I do not cast down faith, in the same way that I do not indulge in it. I find that faith is very low on my scale of personal identity and priorities.

I do believe that Paganism is a very respectable religion, and my reason for posting here is to advocate my support for it. Unfortunately, I know little about it, but there's always things to learn!

Oh, and also, some trivia for non-Pagans: Christmas came from a Pagan holiday, it was taken over by the historical Christians in order to convert Pagans and defame Paganism.

(Or so I've heard. Something along those lines.)

^_^

 

That's true, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus in Christianity but Jesus wasn't really born on December the 25th. I think he was born in the summer; that's what I read. Almost all the religious Christian symbols and holidays are taken from other, older religions.

 

True mostly, except the Winter Solstice has never been on the 25th. It's the 20th of December.

Easter also has lots of Pagan roots (Spring Equinox)

 

Even in the broad spectrum of what constitutes as "paganism", I don't fit into most of it and I'm not really trying to. Spirituality just seems...manufactured to me. Especially the really wild 'new-age' spiritualism, I just can't help but chuckle.

 

It's interesting as well that Christians worship on Sunday, when Saturday is the last/seventh day of the week on US calendars, and should be the "real" Sabbath. Although I can't remember if that was another thing Christians took from pagans or if I'm just making it up

 

I'm wiccan

 

I'm christian, not religious (as in I don't treat it like a religion ), and really spiritual - a group of us from church have a Psychic group. Most of the church would freak out if they knew but... they don't.
Also, most of my friends are agnostic but really questioning - and they have been since I started looking into Psychic/spiritual phenomena and whatever goes with it

 

Hmm... Actually... I rescind my previous comment about not really having a faith. I think my faith lies hidden and underrepresented in my personal stance on the importance of moral integrity.

I guess I like being a good person, and I don't need an organized religion to tell me how (no offense implied). Besides, I can rewrite my own rules as I see fit.

I'd love to learn more about spiritualism, though. I think it's foreignness undervalues its validity in the eyes of strangers. :\
